Bush TV62 | £150 |
 | 1956. Very original set, with a very good, virtually mint cabinet and a known good CRT. These are a good set to restore, as they work very well and are pretty reliable. This is a very clean original example.

Telefunken TV | £225 |
 | Telefunken c.1977. Bright Red! Not a Keracolor, but very like it, if anything even funkier. Similar fibreglass shell housing what is a conventional solid-state 70s TV chassis. It is more of a rugby ball shape than a football, quite a big lump to move and very heavy. Not tested but looks OK, and does need some cosmetic attention but could be a good investment for the future.

Pye B18C | Sold for £195 |
 | 1949. This is one of the nicest TVs we have had for a while. The condition is as good as they get. The cabinet is excellent, back has all original screws etc, and it should need only a good overhaul (capacitors etc.) to get it working properly. The CRT is good and it gives a raster and shows signs of working on sound and vision. Has the early chassis with EF50s and octal valves, mounted sideways in the cabinet. This is a very small, neat console- it can be lifted easily and stands less than 3 ft high. You won't find many like this.

McMichael 512R | Sold for £150 |
 | 1952. Unusual radio/TV combination, 12" Mullard tube, retains the 'Queen Anne' legs and styling they had used since the 1930s. Very good original set, quite rare. The radio is a separate unit, using the 851U chassis. A nice piece of furniture and an interesting set- not too big either.

Ekco TS88 | Sold for £195 |
 | 1949. Very neat little 9" table set, quite hard to find. The cabinet has been repolished well, it is generally in very good condition and is not far off working- displays a cramped raster but it shows that the rare CRM92 tube and LOPT must be OK. 1940s televisions are quite rare and increasing in desirability so this is a good find. If you don't fancy splashing out £5,200 on the 1939 model, why not go for this one?

Bush TV24C | Sold for £75 |
 | 1954. This is an unusual version of the TV24, one of the last in the series which was an evolution from the TV11 of 1948. It has the same basic chassis as the others but has a Band1-3 switch on the side, with a built in tunable range on each band. This was an interim feature enabling the model to cover the new frequencies when they were implemented in 1955. (Was it sold as 'ITV -Ready' ?) Good original condition, looks all complete and would make a good restoration project.

Dynatron TV21 | Sold for £275 |
 | 1948. Very rare high quality12" console TV by this famous manufacturer. As illustrated in "Historic Televisions and Video recorders" by Michael Bennett Levy- (this is the actual set shown.) The same chassis was used in the huge TV/radiogram that we had a few years ago, formerly on display in Roberts Radio's boardroom. The TV21 cost £160/8s/4d in 1949- a huge sum, sufficient to buy a terraced house in some parts of the UK. Good condition, except rubber CRT mask has deteriorated.
